You Don't Want Me Like I Want You

Date Night

Now that Liam was realizing why he was the way he was, he knew he couldn't let Nolan and Theo go out on a date. He didn't know for sure if he liked the Chimera, but he knew there was only one way to find out. And the only possible way to let it happen is to keep Theo and Nolan from going on a date. As hated as he'll be, he had to.
Moving quickly, Liam went to the front office and quickly excused himself for the rest of the day. He needed time to think and school wasn't going to help with that. He had two days to stop the date and he couldn't waste any time.
Pulling out his phone, Liam quickly texted Mason saying he needed his brain. Without hesitation, Mason joined him on the bleachers of the lacrosse field.
"What do you need me for?" Mason asked, walking up to Liam who was sitting in one of the middle rows.
"I need you to help me stop Theo and Nolan from going on a date," Liam said quickly before standing up and turning his entire body towards Mason.
"I'm done with this already," Mason said before quickly turning away and starting to walk back towards the school.
"I like him," the beta said loudly which caused Mason to stop in his tracks. "I didn't realize it because I've been so caught up on school and Hayden but I like him."
Mason didn't turn around, staying silent for a bit as he thought.
"Didn't you hear me?" Liam asked annoyed. "I like Theo. I need to stop them from going on a date."
"I called it," Mason said as he turned around towards the beta with a smirk across his face. "Now, you might not be gay, but you're definitely into guys. Now c'mon, we got a date for you to get ready for. I'll talk to Lydia and see if she can set Theo up with you in secret."
"Yeah, but what about Nolan?" Liam asked. He hadn't actually thought about how the other male would react. He likes Theo, so wouldn't he be mad at Liam for trying to get with him?
"Liam," Mason said as he chuckled slightly. "Nolan is the one who called the fact that you liked Theo from the start. He said you guys should date and, even though he likes Theo, he said you guys would be cute." Mason chuckled as Liam went bright red before wrapping an arm over the beta's shoulder. "Let's go get you ready for a date."

Friday night was upon them, and Liam had cold feet. Going to Noah's house where Lydia and Stiles were, Liam couldn't shut up.
"What if he gets mad at me for being there instead of Nolan?" the beta asked as they were on there way to Sheriff Stilinski's house with all of Liam's nice clothes so Lydia and Mason could set him up for that night.
"If he likes you, he won't be mad," Mason assured him as he turned into the parking lot.
"What if he thinks we're trying to make a joke about it and thinks we set him up?" Liam asked again, turning towards Mason as the other unbuckled.
"He won't, dude," Mason said as he looked at Liam and opened his door. "Lydia, Stiles, Cory, and I will be nearby having a double date while you and Theo can have your first date alone."
And before Liam could speak again, Mason grabbed some of the clothes and climbed out. Liam unbuckled quickly and followed suit as he grabbed what was left.
The two entered into the house and went straight to Stiles' room. There, they met with Lydia and Stiles. The male gave Liam a sturdy look as if he wasn't completely sure how to take the news that it was Liam going instead of Nolan. It could either be the fact that he just couldn't accept Liam liking Theo or Liam liking guys in general. Liam still wasn't sure about it, but felt if he focused on it too hard, it'd hurt his head.
Time passed as both Liam and Stiles watched transfixed as Liam's gay best friend and Stiles girlfriend began to undress and redress Liam multiple times, trying different outfits and different combinations of colors. Shooting a text to the chimera, Lydia asked him what he was wearing so she could try and match "his date" to the best of her ability. Even though she didn't specify, Theo paid no mind to the sentence structure and said he was wearing something casual, described as a button up shirt, nice khakis, and dress shoes. The shirt was a Salmon pink.
With their new found information, Lydia and Mason forced the beta to shower before dressing him themselves. Walking from Stiles' room to see the old Sheriff sitting on the couch, Liam smiled awkwardly at Stiles and Noah while wearing a baby blue button up shirt, dark blue khakis, and dress shoes that belonged to Noah that were being lent. Mason insisted that Liam keep his sleeves rolled down, but he forced them to be rolled up to his elbows.
Luckily, he had recently cut his hair so there wasn't much of a hassle there. Lydia used hair gel she had brought and smoothed the beta's hair out to look nice and professional. It felt nice to be so dressed up. Looking at his phone, Liam knew they had to be leaving shortly. Theo was going to be there soon and have the table reserved already. Looking at himself one last time in the mirror, seeing Lydia in a dress that is just above her knees behind him, he looking at her over his shoulder.
"I'm ready," the beta told her as a smirk crossed his lips.
"You better be. I've been working on you for a few hours now. If you chicken out now, Scott's going to have one less beta to worry about." This caused everyone in the house to chuckle as they collected their things. Neither Stiles or Mason were super dressed up, seeing as their double date was going to be super casual while Liam had to worry about first impressions with a guy he's known a few years now.
